At risk of sounding far fetched, Hojlund is technically better with the ball at his feet than the Viggo looking freak, Haaland.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
This was very apparent even from watching videos of him on YouTube.
Hojlund‘s closer to Kane than Haaland, so it makes sense that we went for him when Kane was definitely not on. Haaland is just a RVN on roids.
Unlucky again
This annoyed me at first, but is actually very accurate.
I think Ruud had more guile and was a better all round footballer, but Haaland is so aggressive and doesn’t need to hit the side netting. He’s so quick, so strong, he affords himself so much time to hit the ball as hard as possible, far more often. He’s betting keepers in the middle of the goal, lots of the time.
The Danish R9
I see a bit more of a young Vieri, before he had some injuries and lost a bit of explosiveness. It could just be the left footed thing. But the physicality reminds me of him rather than a Kane who is so technically and creatively gifted.
I think you’re seriously doing Haaland a disservice as a finisher by insinuating that he just blasts it at the keeper constantly
Cant even score against San Marino, flop
He’s like a more mobile Weghorst, so far.
But he caused those defenders trouble
Weghorst scored tonight, Højlund didn't
Hojlund may also score tonight. If you know what i mean.
No I don't
Who can also get shots off and has quick feet
If he gets a serious injury v Finland I'll be livid.
Hojlund may have sex tonight.
Dont think that is a sweeping statement as Haaland is just decent with the ball at hsi feet, his great technique is in his finishing
I saw him a lot last season. He is nowhere near as some on here are making out.
Good player but he won't ever be world class.
Good player but he won't ever be world class.
Im really not. I’m saying that his physicality : both pace and strength - sees him afforded the kind of time and space that nobody really gets. He hits the cover off the ball, and keeps it on target. That alone will beat most keepers.
Hardly anyone gets to do that as they’re not physically dominant enough to.
I’ve never seen anyone beat top class goalkeepers in the middle of the goal anything like as often as he does.
Not far fetched at all. It’s very obvious Hojlund is already better with the ball at his feet. Haaland is ridiculous at goal scoring but ball at his feet in build up isn’t one of his strengths.
Haha, You didn't watch the game. Højlund came in with 30 minutes left. The game was dead at that point, and Denmark did not create much. Anyway Højlund hit the post and was unlucky not to score.
Seen the word unlucky being mentioned a few times. He's going to fit in well here
Loving how many posters are taking this post seriously
Not a good look.
Is that right? You know this for sure aye? Or are you a wee bit annoyed how he was able to bully Gabrielle on Sunday. So much salt in this post; will be useful when the roads get icy again.
Not one player in our squad scored against them last night.
This is the level we are at now, ETH was supposed to fix this nonsense, another fraud.
Even if your right, it's about what United need... He looks like he can be a world class upgrade to our team, because we need a ST like him so badly.
Have a nagging feeling that whether Højlund can find his feet quickly might be the difference between this being a pretty shite season and an at least acceptable one.
Spoken like a true Arsenal fan.
If you did that, you'd see he has all the tools to become a world class striker if he manages to put it all together. Supporting Arsenal does not mean you have to expose yourself for your lack of football knowledge on a United forum.
Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah
He looked quality in his brief Cameo last night strong on the ball very mobile and had some nice close touches around the box laying it off to other players also hit the post and would have scored if not for a slight deflection.
Who can play football.
johnny Evans is the answer to everything
Good club, but they won’t ever be world class.
Haaland is a such a bizarre player. A hat trick and an assist vs Fulham and he made 4 passes all game. Man City had 68% possession and he played the full 90!
Obligatory "It's only San Marino, etc. etc.", but I'm encouraged by his touch and close control. He seems sharp in and around the box.
As both a Denmark and United fan, I hope he starts vs. Finland.
